Without God?
Without God the world is but a spinning stone,
and we are merely moss clinging to life
as long as we can until we are hurled
into a black abyss of death,
Without God there is no justice
for men like Hitler and Osama Bin Laden,
Genghis Khan and so many other butchers
of life all allowed to vanish with retribution
into the oblivion of nothing evermore,
Without God the world at large would have
no conscience to guide them,
and men,women and children would be
so much more barbaric then they are.
The fear of a mightier being
giving us free will but offering
the understanding that punishment awaits
the abuse of personal choices,
has kept the majority of us civilized
for centuries together,
I could not comprehend a world without
faith in a higher power,
For I myself would have rampaged at many points
in my life beyond human tolerance.
Only the fear of God kept me from acting on
my rage, my greed, my lust, my primitive impulses.
Whole societies have worshiped men,
and have been destroyed in the process,
Jim Jones and his followers
forced to guzzle poisoned Kool-aids,
the fiasco of fiery death at Waco Texas,
The Spanish Inquisition where thousands were
put to death for their faith,
These were all Godless leaders proclaiming to be God,
and none who have boasted such power
were ever successful for long.
And they all met judgment on the other side
when they faced the real God,
with their martyrs wrapped in his loving arms.
Should an infant beaten to death
be granted only 16 months
and then nothing else forever?
Where is the fairness in that??
If God were to step in and stop the carnage,
then we would all be his puppets,
controlled daily by his will only,
vacant dolls prancing over the stages of life,
but he gave us free will
and from the apple at Eden we violate it,
but he also offers forgiveness,
Many who have died, including Atheists
and children speak of God,
Tiny toddlers who have stopped living
can describe exact operating procedures
that they know nothing about
after their hearts had stopped.
Bodies that were weighed at the instant of death
in a scientific study conducted on hundreds of patients
became approximately seven ounces lighter,
Unexplainable except for the soul departing
the mortal flesh it has inhabited.
To deny god is to deny one's own soul,
for what then would be the purpose of such a
devine device instilled at birth
It is the essence of poets and artist,
doctors and nurses, soldiers who die for others
firemen and policemen of good standing,
all heroes who take on insurmountable tasks
for the glory of nothing but death.
Men throughout history,
since the beginning of time
have worshiped a higher being,
It is why we are here today,
their faith kept entire civilizations
from being eradicated from the earth.
Without God the world is but a spinning stone,
empty and void, populated by beasts
who only devour each other,
He is and has been the balance between good and evil
and no one can deny that much at least,
so how can one deny God??
